Église Notre-Dame-du-Mont-Carmel, Catholic church in Basse-Terre, Guadeloupe.

The Notre-Dame-du-Mont-Carmel church stands in the center of Basse-Terre, featuring traditional Caribbean architectural elements and a prominent golden statue of the Virgin Mary.

The church received its historical monument status in 2006, with the original structure dating back to the 18th century when it was sold to Carmelite monks in 1772.

Local residents organize an annual procession on July 16th to honor Notre Dame du Mont Carmel, maintaining centuries-old religious traditions in Guadeloupe.

The church includes tribunes and an enlarged choir area added in 1949 by architect Pierre Isnard to accommodate more worshippers during services.

The church contains healing baths constructed in 1918 with heated water basins, reflecting Greek and neoclassical architectural influences in their design.
